Review of Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James

When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him. Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms.

Shocked yet thrilled by Grey’s singular erotic tastes, Ana hesitates. For all the trappings of success—his multinational businesses, his vast wealth, his loving family—Grey is a man tormented by demons and consumed by the need to control. When the couple embarks on a daring, passionately physical affair, Ana discovers Christian Grey’s secrets and explores her own dark desires.

Erotic, amusing, and deeply moving, the Fifty Shades Trilogy is a tale that will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you forever.

Review



I waited until Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed was out till I started this. I was glad I did. This book is everywhere right now, and sometimes with things that are so hyped up, they don't live up. (Breaking Dawn)

However Fifty Shades of Grey did. I was expecting a pervert who was cold and wanted order, I didn't expect Christian Grey. Now that's not to say he's my new book Boyfriend at the present time, but slowly I'm warming up to him. I get that he is emotionally and physically scarred, but still his moods give me whiplash. It's rare to find a character with so much depth, and boy does he have plenty to spare.

When I read the contract Ana was given by Mr Grey, I admit I was a bit shocked at it's crudeness. Not the usual thing one finds in my romance stories. in addition to this, I had heard this was 'mommy porn'. I was imagining all sorts of scenario's and I was blushing. Turn's out I worried for nothing.

Personally after reading the contract I would have run.. far far away, But that wouldn't make a very good Story, now would it? Ana's responses to his 'demands' are perfect, she is the 'sane' one after all. She is highly spirited with all the insecurities that I think someone in her shoes would have. Towards the end I was starting to like that Mr Grey was slowly becoming unravelled by Ana.

E L James has written an engaging, enigmatic novel that I loved, with character's with so much depth that it was hard to not like them. I'm glad that I bought all three books and waited because I would have been very impatient if I had to have waited God knows how long for the next instalment. Five Stars...

Protecting what's His ( A line of Duty Novel) By Tessa Bailey

She’s running from the law, and the law wants her bad.

The opportunity was just too damn delicious for Ginger Peet to pass up. The purse full of money she finds—$50,000 to be exact—could give her and her teen sister the new start they need. So she grabs the cash, her gothy sibling, and their life-sized statue of Dolly Parton, and blows outta Nashville in a cloud of dust. Chicago, here we come...

Turns out, Chicago has some pretty hot cops. Hot, intense, naughty-lookin’ cops like Derek Tyler, who looks like he could eat a girl up and leave her begging for more. And more. Tempting as he is, getting involved with the sexy homicide lieutenant next door poses a teensy problem for a gal who’s on the lam. But one thing is certain—Derek’s onto her, and he wants more than just a taste.

And as far as he’s concerned, possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Okay, so all my Lady Parts stood up to attention at this book. The Uber alpha male is a particular vice of mine. I love em.

This was more of an erotic tale with a bit suspense that was building for the entire book, but Derek's possessive, jealousness more than made up for it. This was very easy to read and although there wasn't much dialogue, the inner thinking of their brains was humorous and endearing.

Derek was an all brawn cop, arrogant but oh so yummy. he was no nonsense tough Chicago Policemen. -yum!  No enough handcuff play for me!!  

ok so our heroine was slightly damaged although there was no moping which was so refreshing. Her relationship with her sister was quick witted and realistic.

Would recommend this to anyone who loves a Alpha male in uniform.. sometimes.


Favourite Quotes:

"Like a living thing, the swift and potent possessiveness she provoked in him stretched and vibrated in his belly. He’d wanted women before, but not like this."

“Let me be clear, Ginger, since you insist on talking in circles. I want you underneath me in my bed. I want to be buried inside you so deep that I have to remind you of your own name. And I want those motherfuckers leering at you from the other side of the bar to smell me on you for a week afterward.”

“The longer it takes me to get between your thighs, the rougher I’m going to be when I finally get there. Understand?”

“Listen to me, baby. From the time we walk in the door to my apartment, you will have less than a minute before I put my cock inside you. No foreplay. No kissing. There won’t be any time, because you’ve got me strung so damn tight I can barely think straight. I need you to keep yourself wet for me on the ride home. Starting now.” Reaching across the car’s console, he yanked her skirt high on her thighs. “Put your hand between your legs, Ginger.”

“Do you feel that, baby? That’s your man moving inside you.”

Review of the fault in our stars by John Green

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel's story is about to be completely rewritten.

Ok, so I watched the film first before reading the book, but for once in a long time I just wanted to not completely know the ending. 

I loved the film. I could very easily sobbed, screamed and thrown a complete tantrum. Amazing. So naturally I thought I'd read the book. I am glad that I watched the film first. 

Don't get me wrong the book is just as amazing, which I find so rare. I'm always saying "the book was better" 

John Green has captured something so rare in a book. Although this book is predominantly about dying, it's kind of had the opposite affect on me. It made me feel so much and some things weren't always positive, BUT I have never felt so much in one book before. To me that is a sign of a good book.

I am honestly disgusted by some of the reviews on here where people have been cyber bullied. Seriously, are you freaking kidding me. People opinions are their own, not everyone will like this book. Get over yourselves. 

Rant over.. 

 Ok good book, recommend to everyone that wants to feel so much...

Review of Hurts so good by Jenika Snow

Hurts so good was another short by Jenika snow, about big mean looking tough men, fighting for those they love, in the ring and outside of it. 

In this story Mack and Jane have a past and they hadn't seen each other in 10 years, they haven't stopped thinking about each other every day since. I love a tourtured hero!!!

Having read the rest in the Absinthe series I was really looking forward to this. I love stories involving Russians. (Her russian protectors by Roxie Rivera) this story did not disappoint. 

Mack was hot, possessive and just down right gorgeous, and Jane was a great heroine. 

I loved that we got a glimpse of the past between the two of them and the epilogue was a perfect end.

Can't seem to get enough of Jenika Snow books, and this was by far the best!!  

Review of Her Tattooed Fighter by Jenika snow

A short sexy little read by Jenika Snow, about a man whoring inked up fighter, who has wanted the trainers daughter for a long time. Inviting her to a party, hoping that she feel the same the story trots along nicely. The fight scenes were well choreographed nicely, and the sex was steamy.  

London was a yummy possessive man who I instantly loved. 

Jenika Snow is fastly becoming a favourite author of mine. 

Favourite line

"Yeah, I am pretty fucking drunk, baby." Her heart sank. "But I'm not drunk em ought that I don't realise that the girl in front of me is the one that I've wanted for a long fucking time, but have been too much of a pussy to approach. Or that the girl that I am grinding this hard-on against is the one that will probably have me getting my ass kicked by her dad and a big-ass Russian." 

Looking forward to the big-ass Russians story next.
